We were in Dhamnod village where we met Bhagwan bhai. Bhagwan bhai is a potter. We watched him change a blob of clay into earthen pots.
Once the pot is off the wheel and just about to get into the kiln, the potter keeps one hand inside the pot as support and uses the other hand to tap the outer surface to make to strong and give it shape.
Reminded me of this analogy with relationships - if the hand inside is that of love the relationship can withstand many outer storms.
The round darts that you see in the picture is for the inner support while the flat darts are for the tapping. Bhagwan bhai shared that the weight of the inner darts is always heavier then the outer darts. Looks like the weight of love should always be greater :)
On a sunny afternoon when I am fetched a glass of cool water from a similar pot I know the amount of love and labor that someone has put in with a lot of gentle tapping.
